I see the Museum of Modern Art is calling their new wing “The Peoples Art Center.” Very good.

Dear Adelyn
I want to thank you for your heartening letters, needless to say I enjoyed them. Defense planning was only one of the subjects discussed at the Museum of Modern Art meeting. Regarding sending you a list of the perishable and/or irreplaceable objects in my collection. I think most of the ancient things & antiques have been given to the Museum such as the pieces of stained glass & the 2 plates on the wall of the Renaissance Room, the terra cotta bust of St. John etc. – So I think I can leave the valuation of the rest to your good judgment. I’m so pleased to hear the Museum’s membership is increasing, that’s always such a good sign.
I’ll be most interested to see the constructions with their new neighbors, the yews, I’m sure they’ll add quite a bit. And I love to think of Belle doing such fine work with the children etc. in the new wing and enjoying it so thoroughly – I mean in the “Saidie-Belle Wing” – excuse me. And it gratifies me and I am certainly sure how much it must mean to you to conduct an institution that is playing such a vital part in the city’s richness, greatly through your understanding and ceaseless efforts.
Again I thank you for your warm words of praise & also the Executive board for theirs.
Fondly,
Saidie
